alcoholism:
finding solutions for those
trapped in a bottle
BY JAC a WEBER
Everyone knows what alcoholism is, but few people can identify symptoms of the disease in their own drinking habits or in those of their families and friends.
The Student Health Center, with the help of alcoholic prevention groups, is out to eliminate ignorance as one of the problems in treatment.
Starting this week, a new program of alcoholic awareness is being conducted that Addie Klotz, director of the center, calls unique. “This is the first time, to my knowledge, that an entire university community—students, faculty and staff—will be involved collectively in an alcoholism program,” she said.
The program officially got underway this week with seminars at several of the fraternities and sororities on 28th Street.
Scott Marshall, youth services director of the Pasadena Council on Alcoholism and a former alcoholic, is conducting the seminars that he said, “will re-educate everyone on the facts about alcohol as a dangerous drug.”
The goal is to reach all of the houses in the next several weeks.
He made it clear that the Row was not being singled out as a particular sore spot. “The problem exists everywhere,” he said. “The fraternities and sororities, because of their strong organization, are just good places to start.”
There are over 50,000 teenage alcoholics in Southern California. The male population between 18 and 30 has the highest incidence of alcoholism in the nation, Marshall said.
“It is important that students be educated because many are in the early stages of alcoholism and do not even know it,” he said.
Tell-tale signs include a feeling of guilt after drinking, using alcohol when under stress and frequent drinking “just to get drunk.”
Marshall added that it is no longer just a problem among males. “The girls are catching up fast, because it is now more socially acceptable for them to drink in public.”

help future senates, Sonnenberg said.
“The chairman will confer with a cabinet at least once a month,” the tentative changes say. The cabinet will consist of the members of the executive committee, the chairmen ofthe standing committees, the directors of the three Research-Action Units, the chairman of the Campus Activities Allocation Board and the immediate past chairman of the senate.
The cabinet will make recommendations to the chairman and the senate at either’s request.
The cabinet will advise the chairman on courses of action to be taken with various reports and recommendations made by the senate or any of its subsidiary bodies.
The chairman of the senate will report on the cabinet’s activities at each senate meeting.
Sonnenberg said the other important action of the senate was to establish the Research-Action Units. The directors of the units will coordinate students with expertise in areas that concern the senate. The units will guide task forces and will assist in writing position papers.
There have been similar units in the past but the bylaw changes will incorporate them permanently into the senate, said Terry HiHis, the senate’s vice-chairman.
“The new changes are like filling in the gaps,” she said. “The revisions clarify some points, institutionalize things that were going on in the past and give the senate a stronger base to work from. They define the power so a few students can’t run things.”
The bylaws define the job of the Research-Action Units. They say the units were set up “for the purposes of specialization and concentration on particular issues of importance.
The units will be: financial affairs, student affairs and academic affairs.
The chairman ofthe senate will appoint directors for each of these units. These appointments must be presented to the full senate for approval by the second senate meeting in the fall. Sonnenberg said this revision was one that took some power away from him. Before, he had the sole responsibility for appointing the directors.
Sonnenberg said the other major bylaw revision was opening the senate’s meetings to the general public.

The Student Senate made tentative changes in its bylaws Wednesday, setting up a cabinet to help decentralize the chairman’s power. The cabinet will report to and work with the chairman, said Glenn Sonnenberg, who holds the post.
The other major change was the establishment of three Research-Action Units that will do research for the senate.
Sonnenberg said the cabinet fills an important void in the senate’s decisionmaking process. In the past, he said, “The chairman has had too much authority. It is
Tuition will probably continue to increase in the next few years, but it should increase at the same rate as inflation, said David Shawaker, assistant treasurer and budget officer.
He estimated inflation this year at 6%, which in turn should be about the same percentage that tuition will increase for next year, he said.
Tuition is presently $118 per unit, a 9% increase over last year’s tuition.
Shawaker said this was only a projection on his part and tuition increases will be set by the Resource Management Budget Commission later this year.
He also did not see any immediate relief for the tuition rate from Toward Century II, the university’s $265-million project to increase the endowment.
“It’s going to solve a number of things, not just keep tuition down,” he said. Shawaker said the drive should generate $200 million for the endowment pool. The university would receive 6% of that per year in interest income, which can then be added to the consolidated budget.
The consolidated budget is the university’s entire budget. It includes restricted and nonrestricted funds.
“It will help, but as long as we’re in an inflationary economy, tuition increases will reflect that economy,” he said.
Shawaker said that if tuition continues to increase much longer, students may decide against attending the university because they won’t be able to afford it any longer.
University officials realize this and in order to balance the budget in the future, many “highly desirable activities must be postponed, curtailed or cancelled owing to the lack of sufficient funds,” said the 1975-76 financial report issued by the university.
Shawaker said those cuts fall into three catagories. First, requests for new programs often have to be turned down. Second, deans in each of the schools may make cuts after they receive their school’s allocation in the spring, trimming outdated programs and instituting new ones.
Third, the administration might state that it would have to make a cut in the base allocation made to each of these schools. Shawaker anticipates this latter category would go into effect in the future, but as of now, the university has no plans in this direction.

important to decentralize the chairmanship. He should have a constant flow of ideas.
“The cabinet will help to set consistent policy. The senate meets every other week and in between there are 14 days when anything can happen. Often the chairman has to act for the senate. In the past, the chairman has made unilateral decisions. Now he must consult the cabinet. The cabinet brings the chairman together with everyone in the senate with major authority. They will work together in tandem.”
The senate adjourned before all the revisions could be passed, so the changes will not become final until all the revi- , sions are made and voted on as a whole.
The senate did not act on the so-called Hoopla Clause, which forbids the funding of private parties and social events by the Campus Activities and Allocation Board. The issue was raised after the board gave the School of Dentistry $600 for refreshments.
A cabinet previously existed unofficially, but the senate’s action now makes it an official part ofthe bylaws, which will
